Hot on the heels of the last firmware update (ver. 1.1.0) (offering improved recovery time from overheating for the EOS R5), Canon has come out with a new firmware update with improvements for both the EOS R5 and EOS R6.
The last update focused primarily on the EOS R5, however, this new update (ver. 1.1.1), flips that around by focusing primarily on the EOS R6, basically offering the same improvements as ver. 1.1.0 did for the EOS R5.
Let’s find out what’s new and improved for both cameras.
Canon EOS R6
EOS R6 – What’s new and improved in firmware update ver. 1.1.1
- Useful messaging is displayed when [HDMI display: Camera+External monitor] and [Overheat control: on] settings are both enabled.
- When the RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1 L IS USM lens is attached, an image stabilization effect of approximately six stops is achieved through collaborative control with the in-lens image stabilization.
- Fixes a phenomenon in which the IS capabilities may be degraded when performing continuous shooting in cases where the RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1 L IS USM lens is attached to the EOS R6 running firmware version 1.1.0.
- When using certain RF lenses for movie shooting, the in-lens image stabilization mechanism has been improved.
- Fixes a phenomenon in which the “Slow Synchro” setting screen is not accurately displayed, when the language is set to English.
- Fixes a typo displayed on the communication setting screen, when the language is set to Korean.
- Connectivity during FTP transmission has been improved.
- Temperature detection and shooting time control in video shooting have been improved. In addition, the total shooting time when the short-time recording and power-on/off are performed repeatedly at room temperature is improved.
- The phenomenon in which the movie recording time available is not correctly displayed when the Date/Time/Zone is not set has been corrected.
